I never realized things would be so difficult. What im trying to do is make a radio button page where ppl can make their selection and then have the results sent to me via whatever method is best. From what i have seen that would be asp. So with that said i went to w3schools website and i see how it would work but what it fails to tell me is the steps it takes to make it happen. What it shows me is this.

Code:

<html>
<%
dim cars
cars=Request.Form("cars")
%>
<body>
<form action="demo_radiob.asp" method="post">
<p>Please select your favorite car:</p>

<input type="radio" name="cars"
<%if cars="Volvo" then Response.Write("checked")%>
value="Volvo">Volvo</input>
<br />
<input type="radio" name="cars"
<%if cars="Saab" then Response.Write("checked")%>
value="Saab">Saab</input>
<br />
<input type="radio" name="cars"
<%if cars="BMW" then Response.Write("checked")%>
value="BMW">BMW</input>
<br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<%
if cars<>"" then
   Response.Write("<p>Your favorite car is: " & cars & "</p>")
end if
%>
</body>
</html>

Now do i take this code and put it into a regular html file and then make an asp page to go on my server. How do i see the resuts ? So lost and confused here. Please help me with this. Ugggh

You are submitting the form to itself. So first , cars will be empty. So no radiobox will be checked and no line will be displayed below the form.
and after submitting form by selecting radio button, that perticular box will be checked and at end it will print last line with 'cars' value.

Only if your hosting supports ASP.
